Plunge sharply as soon as the door opened

(NLDO) - Gold prices today suddenly dropped as soon as trading opened on the international market, causing the prices of gold bars and gold rings to fall sharply.

On the morning of January 27, the world gold price dropped sharply by about 16 USD/ounce to 2,756 USD/ounce right after opening the new trading week. The price of gold today is in the context that the precious metal has had a series of consecutive weeks of increase, reaching close to the all-time peak of 2,790 USD/ounce set in October 2024.

Analysts believe that gold prices may decline in the short term due to profit-taking pressure from investors. However, Kitco's survey on gold price trends this week shows that the precious metal is still expected to continue to increase as it is being supported by the weakening of the USD. The USD index on the international market is at its lowest level in more than a month, falling to 107.5 points.

Gold prices this week are awaiting changes from policy meetings of central banks in many countries such as the US and Europe.

The price of SJC gold bars was bought by a number of businesses at VND87.2 million/tael, sold at VND88.2 million/tael, a sharp decrease of about VND600,000 per tael compared to yesterday.

Some gold shops in Ho Chi Minh City quoted the buying price of gold bars at VND87 million/tael and the selling price at VND87.8 million/tael. The price of gold bars began to differ between businesses during the Tet holiday.

Similarly, the price of 99.99 gold rings and jewelry gold of all kinds also decreased. Currently, the price of gold rings is traded around 87.1 million VND/tael for buying and 88.2 million VND/tael for selling, down about 300,000 VND/tael compared to the previous day. Some gold shops sell gold rings for only 86.5 million VND/tael. The price of gold rings is still mainly "buy where you sell" depending on the regulations of the business and gold shop.

The demand for buying gold jewelry for decoration and gifts for relatives and friends increases during the days before Tet. While some big brands such as SJC company are closed for Tet, people turn to shopping at many gold shops, jewelry stores...
